The asking price is 36% above the average asking price in the Blekersbuurt (€842,500) and is the highest of the four homes currently for sale. However, this is a 1935 semi-detached house with 167 m² and a 259 m² plot, which is larger than the neighbourhood average of 141 m². The price per m² works out at about €6,886, compared with the neighbourhood average of €6,196. So it is on the high side, but the size and type justify part of the premium.

Blekersbuurt is a quiet, established residential area with mostly pre-war homes. It has around 1,500 residents, a mix of families and older people, and a fairly urban feel. More than half the homes are single-family houses, and most are owner-occupied. The area is not reviewed by residents on, but CBS data shows it is a settled neighbourhood with low crime (37 incidents total).

The nearest train station is 600 metres away, about a five-minute walk. It provides direct connections to Haarlem and Amsterdam, making it convenient for commuters.

There are two primary schools within walking distance: St. Theresia (500 m) and Brederode Daltonschool (600 m). For secondary education, Mendelcollege is about 700 m away. All are within a ten-minute walk.

The nearest supermarket is a Dekamarkt at 500 m, just around the corner. An Albert Heijn and a PLUS are both about 1.2 km away, a ten-minute walk. So daily shopping is easy on foot.

The home has energy label C, which is average for a pre-war house. It means the property is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern homes. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like better insulation could help.

Currently, there are four homes for sale in the Blekersbuurt. This one is the most expensive. In the past year, 22 homes were sold, with an average selling price of €871,773 and an average time on market of 25 days.
